Demco SBS Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit Installation - 2019 Ram 1500- Video

Demco SBS Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit Installation - 2019 Ram 1500

Hey everyone, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2019 Ram 1500, we're gonna be showing you how to install the Demco Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Line Kit. Before we do that though, let's just take a minute, check this out and talk about why it's a good idea to use something like this. We have the Demco Charge Line Kit set up on our truck and I feel like a charge line is one of those components that are often overlooked, but they really do make a big difference. And what the charge line is gonna do is more or less trickle charge or maintain your Ram's battery whenever you're flat towing it down the road. And that's important because a lot of times, you know your supplemental braking system, whenever that operates, that's gonna draw power from your truck's battery. more

Rhino Rack Roof Rack Installation - 2019 Ram 1500

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Bar crossbar system here for your tonneau covers. We're gonna be taking a look at it on our 2019 Ram 1500 with our Mountain Top tonneau cover. Now we are going to be using this with the rails here. Any other tonneau cover that has a rail system like the Pace Edwards UltraGroove or the RetraxPRO XR, those are gonna work just fine. Same deal, it's just gonna slide in the tracks here, but it's basically going to give you a set of crossbars above the tonneau cover. more

BrakeBuddy Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Kit Installation - 2021 Ram 1500- Video

BrakeBuddy Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Kit Installation - 2021 Ram 1500

Hey everybody, how's it going Today, we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install, the Brake Buddy towed vehicle battery charge line kit here, on a 2021 Ram 1500. So a battery charge line kit is gonna be a requirement here for your Ram 1500 because unfortunately, the battery does drain while you're towing it behind your motor home. So unless you want to arrive to your destination with a dead battery, you're gonna need to install some sort of battery charge line. There's a couple different options out there on the market. I really like this one, the best here. They have a nice little LED indicator which you can't see now, cause it's really bright and sunny out, but there's an LED indicator on there that lets you know, your battery's being charged and it comes with everything for you. more

Hi there Ram owners, HEMI 2013 Ram 1500.

You can see here that we we're able to get a significantly more drop compared to the one that we had removed, and that's thanks to the additional adjustment holes that we've got available on the shank here. This shank's gonna be a great replacement if you are either going to lift your truck or you're purchasing a new truck that just has a much higher ride height than your old one did. more

Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit Installation - 2013 Ram 1500

Rob: Hey everybody. It's Rob here at etrailer.com, and today we're going to take a look at the Roadmaster Charge Line Kit for towed vehicles on our 2013 Ram 1500.Now, if you're going to be towing your Ram behind your motor home, chances are you probably have a supplemental braking system along with all the other components to flat tow it. Well, part of that breaking system, it runs off of the battery on your Ram. So we're not running our Ram when we're towing it so the engine's not running and it's not charging the battery, but the battery is still being used by the braking system, not to mention all the lights. So by the time we're getting where we're going, we had better hope that our battery's not dead, because then we're going to have to worry about finding jumper cables and everything else. But our charge line kit is going to make sure that our battery has a maintenance charge on it the entire time that we're towing. more

Shane: Hi, I'm Shane with etrailer.com. Today I'm going to walk you through the installation on Demco's Air Force One Supplemental Braking System on our 2015 Ram 1500.Adding a breaking system to your vehicle, one, is going to make it legal so you can flat tow your vehicle. Two, it's going to make it safer because you're not relying on the brakes on the RV to stop both vehicles.The Air Force One is going to be a proportional braking system. It's going to be designed to work with RVs that have air brakes. How it works is when you apply the brakes on the RV, the air pressure coming from the RV's brakes is sent through to the system mounted inside the towed vehicle, intern applying the brakes. It's going to be one of five main components in a flat tow setup for the Ram 1500.You're going to have your braking system. more
